A direct quote from my 82 year old mother in regard to the NYC shootings.........

[mrmpa]

Mom is listening to Mayor Bloomberg and yells at him "you can get rid of the fucking soda, but you can't get rid of the god damn guns."

[proud patriot]

1. I'm feeling like giving your mom a BIG HUG

[mrmpa]

2. I'll give her a hug from you........eom

[samsingh]

3. smart lady

[leeroysphitz]

4. Yep.

[glacierbay]

5. According to Police Commissioner Kelly,

the NYPD may be responsible for some that were wounded. We'll know after they recover the bullets from the wounded.

[Smarmie Doofus]

6. Mom, as much as I loathe Bloomberg....

.... one can't blame him for lax or non-existent gun laws.

Blame him for bad schools, high taxes, high rents , high crime, stop and frisk, governmental dishonesty, police statism, political corruption of all varieties: guilty as charged.

But NOT for putting guns in the hands of crazy people.

[mrmpa]

7. I think mom's use of "you" was a generic, all encompassing........

for all politicians.

[MannyGoldstein]

8. He also got rid of those fucking Occupy riffraff

So there's something useful he did.

[Marinedem]

9. Huh.

Does your mother have the internet?

Maybe she should google "NYC gun laws".

[mrmpa]

10. Mom has internet access via me........

read my response above. Her use of you, was all encompassing, not specifically @ NYC laws.

FYI, she is the widow of a 15 year Marine Corps Veteran, who was with Dad through 11 of those 15 and Dad was a Chosin Reservoir combatant and veteran. (that has nothing to do with the post, just wanted to bond).

Semper FI

[yesphan]

15. Oh yeah,

the Frozen Chosin. Tough times.

[mrmpa]

16. Yep it was tough........

I don't think my Dad was ever warm. I remember in the winter he was always rubbing his hands, clenching them and blowing into them to keep warm.

11. Guns are less legal in NYC than soda. nt

[AlbertCat]

12. Guns are less legal in NYC than soda

Of course... one has to ENFORCE the law....

[NYC Liberal]

13. Movie theatres here are now running "PSAs" about "protecting our freedom of choice"

re: the soda sizes.

Now I think it's a stupid idea. But of all the things to spend millions fighting and getting worked up about...

[part man all 86]

14. Firearms have more rights than people's right to vote.

Firearms are made for one purpose, to hunt animals especially the two legged kind.

[MrMickeysMom]

17. THAT was HUGE

Absolutely!
